THE MICHIGAN DAILY - JAGE SEE State Loses Two Backfield Stars From Next Tilt Warmbein And Edwards, Unable To Participate Because Of Injuries EAST LANSING, Sept. 30. - (P) - The Michigan State College football team preparing for the "game of games" with Michigan at Ann Arbor Saturday learned today it will have to enter the game without two of its backfield stars. On top of the injury to Dick Ed- wards, right halfback, that will keep him out of practice for at least two weeks, the team learned that Kurt Warmbein will not be in the starting lineup to throw his accurate forward passes and probably will not even be able to play at all. Edwards is onacrutches because of ligaments that were torn in the bend of his knee in the opening game with Grinnell Saturday. Warmbein in- jured his shoulder in practice early this season, did not even put on a uniform Saturday, and the doctors told him today that if he plays at all Saturday it can be "only just a few minutes." Michigan Gargoyle Reduces Rates Of Last YearBy Half Opening its 1935-36 subscription drive, the business staff of the Mich- igan Gargoyle, nationally famous hu- mor monthly, announced recently that the annual rate for the publica- tio of nine issues would be 50 cents. This constitutes a reduction by half of last year's price of $1. The sales drive has been conducted under the supervision of Norman Williamson, '36, business manager. The first edition of the 1935-36 series will comprise 40 pages, Don Miller, '36 editor, stated yesterday. By popular request 'the editors have continued many outstanding de- partments of last year's Gargoyle, in- cluding Sophisticated Lady and Pre- posterous People. "Candid Camera" will again be featured. Miller an- nounced that the "official black ball" will not appear in the first issue but may be used later at the discretion of the editors. Focussing its attention on the foot- ball season, the October issue of the Gargoyle will contain an unusual pictorial representation of the '35 Wolverines, a covering presenting the coaching staff, and an article by Harry Kipke. The October issue will make its appearance Wednesday, Oct. 9. Students with advanced credits de- sirous of trying out for the Gargoyle may do so at once, it was announced yesterday. Walker Graham, '37, and Ogden Dwight, '37, will be in charge of the art and writing try-out sec- tions, respectively. Ask For Tryouts for Union Council A call for sophomore tryouts for the executive council of the Union was issued last night by Wencel A. Neu- mann, '36, president of the Union. All second year men interested are urged to report at 5 p.m. today in Room 304 of the Union. Neumann stated that those soph- omores who were on the Union staff during the second semester of their freshman year were expected to re- port and emphasized the fact that all sophomores who are scholastically eligible and who are interested should come to the meeting. It is not abso- lutely essential that such men have been tryouts for the council before, he stated. The tryouts are placed on one of the various student committees which help direct the student activities of the Union. Every six weeks the try- outs are moved from one committee to another until each sophomore has served on each of the different groups. When the sophomores are picked the chairmen of the committees who be- come members of the executive coun- cilmen.

Medical School Convenes For Annual Meet, Dean Furstenberg Urges Medics To Plan Field Of Work Early The Medical School held its eighty- sixthnannualhconvocationMonday morning at the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre, officially opening the present school year. The exercises were opened with a few introductory remarks and greet- ings extended to returning students and the incoming freshman class by President Alexander G. Ruthven. He was followed by the guest speaker of the exercises, Dr. Andrew Porter Bid- dle, a graduate of the Detroit Medical School in 1886 and now practicing dermatology in Detroit. Dr. Biddle is active in state and national medical societies, having been president of several of the societies in the past. In his address Dr. Biddle stressed the problems relating to social medi- cine, discussing them from the stand- point of both the patient and the physician. Following his address he was presented with an honorary de- gree of Master of Arts. The Sternberg Medal, annually awarded since 1921 to the student who has done most in the field of public health, was then given to Dr. William George Gordon. The presentation was followed by remarks to the students on behalf of the faculty by Dean A. C. Fursten- berg. He pointed out the advantages for the medical student in choosing his field for practice early and the advisabiilty of selecting a good hos- pital as well as a capable superior for his, interne training. The exercises were closed by Pres. Ruthven.

No, it's not a riddle, it's a scientific study of road surfaces being under- taken by Prof. Roy S. Swinton of the University of Michigan Engineering College, who is planning a study of the wear and tear of Michigan's mo- tor traffic on different types of gravel roads, under a contract with the Calcium Chloride Association. Measurements of three-mile sec- tions of roads in Wayne, Washtenaw, Genesee, and Huron counties have al- ready been taken during the spring of 1935,,and will continue with spring and fall' measurements until the end of 1938, on three types of surfaces. These roads are Geddes Road from the Washtenaw-Wayne county line to Ruthven Will Sign 1,000 Pledges; Pen Firms Please Note The job of being president of the University of Michigan is no snap. Even if it had been, it won't be very long. If you doubt it, you have only to ask President Ruthven. Within a very few days, President Ruthven will have to sign personally nearly 1,000 documents - the oaths which members of the faculty are required to swear to by the Baldwin bill. The bill, passed by the last Legisla- ture, declared that ". . . it shall be unlawful for any citizen of the United States to serve as a teacher . . ." in any college exempt from taxation un-, less he swears to support the United States Constitution. About half of the approximately 1,- 000 teaching members of the faculty have returned the oaths, which werel handed out with contracts, signed. The others are coming in every day, according to the President's office. But where the rub comes is that President Ruthven will have to and is planning to sign personally each oath. And if he doesn't get the writer's cramp, he says he is sure to wear out several fountain pens. All of which makes him sigh sadly: "This job of being President is no snap."~ 'Michigan Avenue in Wayne, Seven Mile Road from Pontiac Road west in Washtenaw, Sebawing Road off M-53 eight miles south of Bad Axe in Huron County, and McKinley Road out of Flushing in Genesee County. All four roads carry traffic of from 300 to 500 cars daily, and are roads on which the counties have agreed not to change the type of surfacing during the period of the survey. Any necessary additions of gravel will be carefully recorded as to amount and location. Each road will consist of successive miles of three different surfaces. The first will be a mile of "stabilized" sur- facing, consisting of gravel bound with clay and containing calcium chloride throughout its crust in suf- ficient quantities to prevent dust and raveling. The second mile will be gravel maintained with calcium chloride in the usual dust-proofing' manner, and the third mile will be loose gravel which has not been treat- ed in any way. Professor Swinton will take his readings with respect to a leveled line across the crown of the road from one side to the other, with measurements from the line to the gravel surface at intervals of a foot. The set of about 24 readings thus obtained will be averaged with 19 other sets of meas- urements taken in the same mile to determine the average height of grav- el for the section studied. Loss of gravel will then be determined by comparison of successive readings with the original reading. Other studies which will be under- taken at the same time on the roads include measurements to see if the depth of the surface "mat" or "crust" has changed, periodical traffic counts, and records of maintenance costs. Metal plates have been imbedded in the roads and measurements will be taken to determine whether the road bed has been raised or lowered by frost heaves during the spring period. The purpose of the study is to test To Sound Your Real Political Mind Consult APsychologist It's 1945, election time, and before you can vote you have to go to a licensed psychologist to establish whether you're a Republican or Dem- ocrat, or neither. Fantastic? Well, at the recent con- vention of the American Psychologi- cal Association, Dr. Theodore F. Lentz of Washington University out- lined a test he had used to discover predominant radical or conservative tendencies in college students, and it's only a step from that classification to actual party divisions. The test, given to 580 college stu- dents in six different colleges, con- sists of 437 statements either conser- Ann Arbor's Canines Enjoy Sept. Dog Days The adage -"every dog has his day" - was proved last Saturday when the aristocrats and proletarians of dogdom strutted their stuff in Ann Arbor's annual canine parade. The parade, in honor of National Dog Week, was sponsored by the Ann Arbor Kennel club. A large crowd as- sembled to see the dogs march down Main Street behind the Mayor, pres- ident of the Chamber of Commerce and a score of other dignitaries. And the only person of importance to the dogs absent was that terrible indi- vidual, the dog catcher. When the parade reached Fourth and Catherine Streets, the dogs were treated to ice cream. And then the judges started in. Prizes were award- ed for the largest dog, the smallest dog, the largest dog and smallest owner, the homeliest and the hand- somest. vative or radical in nature, and divid- ed into six categories, religion, poli- tics, education, sex, non-social, and general. After each statement the students were told to write "yes" if they agreed with it, "no" if they disagreed with it. The statements were set up with roughly half radical and half conser- vative. While Dr. Lentz was willing to state that he found students on the whole more radical in thought than "those who are more mature in judgment," he refused to reveal any further sta- tistics, inasmuch as he had given the test merely with a view to testing its reliability, rather than to determine the trend of student thought. ar w SE6IAL§S FOUNTAI N PENS .....$1.00and up Dependable ALARM CLOCKS ...98c STATIONERY.......29c - 39c - 49c LAUNDRY CASES ..........$1.29 THE ANN A R B OR PRESS....
